Questions and Answers

Important Note about this extension kit: The extension kit for the 8' sheds has been discontinued by the manufacturer. For more details contact Lifetime at 800-225-3865.

This extension kit has the newer-style wood-grain pattern. Beginning in 2018 all the Lifetime sheds now all have a newer design for the floor called a wood-grain pattern. This kit does work with the 8' Lifetime sheds and includes the newer pattern to match your shed perfectly. If you have bought an older shed (2017 or earlier) from us the previous design with the square target pattern is what you'll want. The older design comes in two models 6422 without a window and 6424 with a window and both have the square target pattern.

Wall To Floor Connection

I have two Lifetime sheds. I used shims for the first assembly. . . helpful. On the second shed, I sprayed the wall/ floor tabs with WD40. Perfect, slipped right in. Originally posted on 8 ft. Shed Extension Kit 30 in.

All In All, A Good Deal.

While the price isn't cheap, keep in mind the shipping is free. The package isn't small & is delivered by a semi truck. It can also be a bit tricky fitting new panels to an older shed. Tip: use shims to get the floor snapped into place. Originally posted on 8 ft. Shed Extension Kit 30 in. Response From Lifetime: Great Tip! Thanks for the feedback. Shims are very helpful when putting the floor together.

Looks Great !!!

The expansion looks great from the outside but the product was missing the wall supports and the floor was completely different than the original floor pattern, overall the product is good. I called about the missing parts (wall supports) and they shipped immediately, I received them in a couple of days. Originally posted on 8 ft. Shed Extension Kit 30 in.

Doesn't Fit The 60056 Shed. Be Careful.

I have a 60056 shed and the flooring finger joints do not match what is on my existing shed. Had to trim the tabs to make it work. Even doing that, wall joints do not line up very well. Shed is usable with extension, but will have to spend time caulking joints to keep water out. I have the new style floor that looks like wood, but this doesn't match. I worked with Lifetime support who sent another panel, but it's the same problem. Although they say the flooring panels are the same and will work, it doesn't. Width of the panels is about 1 inch wider overall so walls have to flex to make the half inch offset on each side. Otherwise everything else worked, but once the floor is off, assembly is hard as everything else is slightly off. Hind sight, order a longer shed the first time. Wish it was as easy as it seemed like it should have been.

Product Needs Disclaimer

This new extension to install on a used 6411 Lifetime shed, but when the time came to put it all together the walls and floor of kit are approx. 1/4 to 3/8 too tall and wide. I was informed by 2 different customer service reps that the kit needed to acclimate outside but no definitive answer as to how long process would take. long story short I live in Idaho, it's October I need storage before winter there is no time let acclimate! Lifetime Products and their distributors need a disclaimer on these kits to let unsuspecting customers what they on in for! Originally posted on 8 ft. Shed Extension Kit 30 in. Response From Lifetime: Hello again. One of the Lifetime Customer Service Supervisors will be reaching out to you soon about your shed. They will have some additional information and help for you so you can get your shed in working condition before winter sets in

Wouldn't Fit

I carefully examined the specs and other customer reviews and thought this would easily extend my 8' shed. Unfortunately, the floor grooves were not the same as on the rest of my Lifetime Shed, and so the vertical panels would not fit properly with the others. Now I have to try and repack this monster and return it. I wish the extension was as workable as the shed itself, which is quite nice and highly recommended. Originally posted on 8 ft. Shed Extension Kit 30 in. Response From Lifetime: Hey Pete. Before you repack the "monster" let's get you in touch with the Lifetime customer service team to see if they can get you flooring that matches up. They did make a change recently to the flooring so they assume you have the older floor. They can get panels that match for you so the extension can work! Their customer service line is +1 800 225-3865 or you can email them at [email protected].

Q: How much does this extend the footprint? Sorry if it is exactly 30 inches, but I just want to build the platform before my shed arrives. I will be adding 3 extensions to the 8' x 15' dual entry shed. I am planning on footprint dimensions of 268" x 94", sound good?

Asked by: Matt - 10/17/2018

A: Yes, it extended exactly 30 inches. So the footprint remains the same and you simply add exactly 30 inches in depth.
